I had gotten so used to visiting with her every couple of weeks for quite a while now that going for almost 2 months without seeing her was just too much. I missed her and she missed me. Thankfully a couple of weeks ago I was able to visit with Hayley down at her college for the first time since before my stem cell transplant.

It may have only been for 4 hours but the visit helped me heal immensely. Her laughter, energy and our conversations helped to bring me out of a depression that I was beginning to take hold. Mind you we do talk and or text every day, which is wonderful in it of itself considering she is a busy college student. But being in person, well there is nothing like it. I can actually feel the light radiating from her.. and it passes on to me. It gives me warmth and comfort. Whenever I am with her, where ever we are, I am home.

Of course I had to take the opportunity to do mini photo shoot
